Day 31 of TVO CMG is at work! strike! Such a shame TVO.me isn’t negotiating with us and has been airing repeats of TVO Today | The Agenda for the last FIVE weeks. Let them know how you feel about that. 416-484-2600. On a happy note, it’s Pizza Friday. Thank you Montreal News Guild CWA Canada!!!
Thank you NewsGuild of New York AGAIN for supporting us. We can’t believe we’re in our SIXTH week of the strike. It’s a shame TVO.me won’t even sit down with us. What are they afraid of? That they’ll discover we’re reasonable and what we’re asking for is achievable? TVO CMG is at work!
Since TVO.me is having fun with math in it's press release about TVO CMG is at work!, let's get this fact right: CEO Jeffrey L. Orridge makes $298,380 per annum, far more than his boss, minister of eduction Stephen Lecce, ($165,851), and $90k more than the PREMIER of Ontario (Doug Ford $208,974)🤦♀️
The people, aka CMG workers, have spoken! We’ve turned down this insulting offer from TVO. We’re already down approx. 13% over the past 10 years with average increases of 0.8% each year (yes, you read that right!). We’ve never been stronger in our resolve. #UnionStrong TVO CMG is at work!
Binding arbitration would bring an IMMEDIATE end to this strike. What a terrible, needless waste of taxpayer’s money. Stephen Lecce Doug Ford Caroline Mulroney Jeffrey L. Orridge can end this TODAY.
THANK YOU for your support DGC National DGC Ontario (Director’s Guild of Canada) and for the yummy 🌮and ☕️. #UnionStrong
Since TVO.me has admitted it is unable to resolve the TVO CMG is at work! strike, Doug Ford, Caroline Mulroney & Stephen Lecce need to direct them to binding arbitration. Otherwise, it will begin to look like the government is fine with the decline of (yet another?) uniquely #OntarioMade institution.
Ten weeks- yikes! TVO CMG is at work! workers have been on strike for TEN WEEKS. This means your public broadcaster has produced no new #ontariomade content and courses can't be produced or created. linktr.ee/tvo_cmg
There's so many to thank for their support during our strike- hope we haven't missed any!
